Art has always appealed to me in a way that nothing ever has. Influencing my interpretation of reality, and my attraction to the benign. It has provided me with refuge. Able to create my own fantasy world, or to better appreciate the atmosphere we exist in.

Although I don't have the appearance, I grew up a secluded Iowa farm boy. Raised working hard, appreciating the little things, and immersing in the beauty of nature.

What came first mechanical fascination, or the intrigue of the camera? My "METALLIC" upbringing, blessed me with an eye for detail, and a love for industrial / abstract art..

I picked up my first camera at age 7, as my family drove across the Dakotas. Fascinated with the Black-hills, and I relentlessly asked to take photos with the family 35mm canon .

Now 8 years into professional media, here I am.

No day in my career of Photography, Video Production, or Art/Media, have I not learned something new.

Increasing demands for digital imaging devices, created a flood of wanna be photographers. This has been a discouraging issue for photographers to navigate. I grew up on film cameras. I can develop film and photos. I can work in a darkroom, and I know what a photo enlarger is. I now shoot digital of coarse, usually Canon DSLR's.

Always inspired by life; and the life works of many like; Diane Arbus, Georges Antoni, and Irving Penn.

My appetite for art is a ravenous hunger, that is only whet when working on something creative and challenging. Setting higher goals to achieve everyday. While spreading positive energy to inspire and motivate.

I am drawn to using low key, and natural lighting, the mystique always shrouded in mystery. What are they thinking. What are they doing, or better yet WHY. What's your story?
